Don't Fear Them

Jeremiah 1:8

You are not created to live a life of fear.
It is possible to live a fear free life.
It is no surprise Jesus always encouraged people to fear not.
Matthew 14:27

Fear acts as a spiritual and emotional cage.
Fear works against your progress and well being.
Fear puts a limit on our life.
Fear is a waster.

On life's journey there are experiences, situations, challenges, people, and circumstances that may cause you to fear.
Fear can be overcome and should be overcome.
2 Timothy 1:7
The only fear permitted in your life is the fear of God.
Ecclesiastes 12:13
This is a different kind of fear.
This type of fear is a healthy, respectful, reverence of God.
It is a fear/reverence put in us by God when we choose Him.

Fear is one of the arrows of the enemy meant to stop you. It has a freezing effect.
Psalm 91:5
Fear stings and freezes people in one spot.
Fear limits your potential, cages your talents, robs you of your future and denies you of the opportunities of the present.
Fear robs you of the exploits you should achieve, and the glory you are meant to manifest.
Fear is a weapon Satan uses to waste lives.
Fear is not of the kingdom of God.
Fear is of the devil.
Fear is from the kingdom of darkness.

There are many ways fear will try and sneak up on you.
Through the words of people, fear can be transmitted.
Fear can come as a result of what you see.
Fear can come as a result of past experiences.
It can come through what you read.
It can come through what you heard.
It can occur due to an absence of God's Spirit.

The Spirit of God is the antidote to fear.
The Spirit of God gives might and strengthens, pushing out fear.
Isaiah 11:2
The Spirit of God makes us bold.

There are those (the religious leaders of the sects of His time) who tried to limit Jesus, intimidate, and perhaps scare Jesus when He was on earth.
It didn't work!
In life you will come across such people- through family, on the job, in your social circles, among friends, in religious circles, in marriage, and in your day to day life.
Don't fear them!

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
